Get out your calendars and mark off the end of April, because the National Black Justice Coalition has plans for you: “The Power of Us Conference!” You’ve heard the legends, but this is the real deal! Or, as the NBJC describes it “a nationwide gathering of Black LGBT, their families, Straight Allies and Supporters.” The capitalization really stresses the unity, don’t you think?
The massive event, held in Baltimore on April 24-26, includes anything in the world you could ever imagine: religious training, financial literacy workshops and chats about health, all of which are essential to a good time. If you’re not down with wellness, maybe you’d like the salute to Black LGBT public officials? Or, to satisfy the world’s insatiable appetite for reality television stars, there’s Marcellas Reynolds of Survivor and Tyra fame! It’s going to be fabulous.

Baltimore is the most dangerous city in America. Couldn’t they have picked a safer place to hold their prayer meetings. I hear Pentacostal Pastor Leah Daughtrey, the DNC chief of staff involved in the gay law suit against DNC, is going to be one of the speakers. It would be worth the price of admission just to see her act out in the name of Jeebus. Why black lesbians take up the “lord” (male) is beyond me ? Must be childhood indoctrination, and they never think it through when they reach adulhood.

marcellas reynolds is from big brother, not survivor. he’s the dumb one who left himself on the block only to get evicted from the house. idiot.

How many SECONDS of googling would it have taken to realize Marcellas was never on Survivor??
LAZY
Mr C
Excuse me Charley,
Baltimore is not the MOST dangerous city in America. I assume your WHITE? Don’t worry about why they do that is their choice.
Just like some WHITES never think through being prejudice it goes along with you as you grow. Must be childhood indoctrination, and they never think it through when they reach adulhood.HA
The only thing that wasn’t taught in your home was sucking cock? Or was that also?????

Big Brother, not Survivor.

Mr C. I grew up in Baltimore. Don’t live there now but visit a few times a year. It has become very dangerous. I have no idea if it is the MOST dangerous city in America. I guess one could look up and debate crime statistics.
However, I assume this is held in downtown Baltimore, which is safe.
Sad what has happened to my city. I really loved it back in the day, it was a great place to grow up. And don’t tell me it’s not dangerous now, you’re not talking to some child.
Finally implying that someone who disagrees with you suffered incest as a child is pretty low. I am not sure why I’m even responding to you.

A map of Baltimore crime in the last 6th months. Looks like the war in Iraq.

it’s a easy mistake to make with 70% of television being reality and all.
but marcellas is from BIG BROTHER.
cmon, he did the big brother fashion awards.
pure comedy.

Hey PuddyKatz,
That statement comes from Charley. If you look above you’ll see where he said it and I was responding to him. And by the way Baltimore is not one of the 10 most dangerous cities in America.
It may be dangerous. Just like some of these WHITE suburbs that have gang issues and wrecking peoples vehicles with graffitti and such. It’s so SAD how the media has made some minority neighborhoods look while there are the same with WHITE ones. But we keep those underwraps and silent. It’s for US to handle..YEAH RIGHT!
GO FIGURE!
